The 2023/2024 season will be Xavi's second season as Barcelona coach. Xavi continues to develop the team to appear more competitive next season. Barcelona made a surprise by winning La Liga in the 2022/2023 season. Xavi managed to bring Barcelona to be much more consistent than other rival teams in the league. One of the keys to winning Barca is the quality of a high level of defense. Marc-Andre ter Stegen has appeared solid under the crossbar with the most clean sheets recorded in a Spanish League season. Winning the league in the first season has been an impressive record for Xavi. Even so, last season Barca failed miserably in European competition, thrown from the Champions League to the Europa League, then eliminated.
As a result of failing in European competition last season, Barcelona will set a higher target for next season. Xavi also began to finalize his squad for next season by bringing in a number of new players.
What Xavi Hernandez did in his first season at Barcelona was indeed quite impressive, indeed it was not his first club as a manager because he had already been a manager at an Arab club and had enough to raise the club, so he already had a little experience as a manager but at Laliga it was his first season and being able to bring Barcelona to victory was a great achievement, even though it was quite helpful because their arch rival Real Madrid seemed to have forgotten to renew their squad so that it was filled with a squad that was quite old.
This season looks like it will be different for Barcelona, they still have a great chance of defending the title, but it will be difficult to achieve this with quite a lot of matches remaining like last season. It is very possible that the certainty of the title will be known until the end of the season, so this will be very interesting to look forward to.
But of all that is really looking forward to how Xavi will bring his club to European competition, and how far they will go after several unimpressive seasons and even quite bad ones, this will be highly anticipated.
